Beautiful sporty; paint, lines, the whole deal. If I was on the fence, I'm sure now that rigid is the way to go. Awesome work!

Very cool but, as always, I have something that I don't particularly like. The drag bars don't look right to me. They are too low and wide. Some Biltwell Friscos would look killer, or West Eagle Attack bars.

Thanks Mr. Rowdy for yor input I appreciate any suggestions
However I particularly like the drag bars
It forms a perfect line from bars to tank to frame
I like it low and lean like a zero bike
But again I. Respect your opinion
